Hearty, old New Englanders like me - 'though born and bred
To the winter season in the region are in dread
Of the 5 day forecast we've been hearing on the news;
It's not good for us or our exhausted snowplow crews.
Thursday into Friday - snow... More snow Sunday night.
In this tunnel of our winter that oncoming light
Is a train wreck up ahead (if they can clear the tracks.)
No relief in sight for our poor old and aching backs.
I have got a snowbank that's, at least, 1 story high;
Ice dams on our roof have caused a leaky ceiling... Sigh.
Even old New Englanders (who aren't inclined to whine)
Reach an upper threshold for our winters. We've passed mine.
